Woohoo. Camping season is almost upon us. Last year we explored up to parksville and then over to Ucluelet and Tofino. This year our intention is to make a great circle and go from the Okanagan to the island, up the island and take the ferry up to Prince Rupert, then over to Prince George, then down through Barkerville etc and back to our home in the Okanagan via Kamloops. Alternatively if we are feeling up to it and weather is good we may carry on from Prince George to Jasper on 16 and then back thru Calgary and highway 1 to the Okanagan.

Our question is what Interesting places can you suggest we visit and camp at between parksville and port hardy on the island. If you have suggestions for interesting spots on 16 from Prince Rupert to Prince George we’ll take those too but after that we are fairly familiar with the route. We have lots of time. Any suggestions are welcome. We have a small combo as per the picture so we can get in anywhere. Serviced or unserviced camping is fine. We have a growing list of places but are looking to add to the list. We are avid hikers and in good shape.

Thanks in advance all.

That's a nice trip. From Campbell River north you will see lots and lots of forest,

A very nice stop I M O will be Telegraph Cove. Telegraph Cove Marina and RV Park - Telegraph Cove, British Columbia - RV LIFE Campground Reviews

A short walk from the campground will take you to the very small community where you will find a pub, store burger joint plus fishing a whale watching tours. About 50 yards from the campground is the Inside Passage where we were able to see a number of Killer Whales including a huge bull. But be aware, you are in the wild and we also saw bears.

Safe travels
